This might just be the best book on investment you’ll read this year. – James Faulkner, UK-AnalystFear and Greed is an unemotional look at the markets. Nicolas Sarkis is spot on about the European contagion. His insights about money and markets are clear and worthwhile. – Marilyn Cohen, ForbesSarkis isn’t afraid to make bold predictions.
